TREK NOTES:
  “You people have rituals for everything except waste extraction.” (Quark to Worf, DS9 “Looking for Par'Mach In All The Wrong Places”)

Finally, a quote by author Robert Heinlein I've always liked:

  “A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
